What it is
Toy blocks are scattered in the hall. Each room has a sign on its door: a color, a shape, or a big or small block. Children drag each block into its room. Later rooms need two things to match, such as red and round, and some rooms hide a block that doesn't belong. Every color also has its own pattern, so no one has to tell colors apart to play.
What children learn
Builds sorting and classifying by one attribute (color, shape, size), then by two attributes at once, and noticing what a group has in common to find the one that doesn't belong — the groundwork for data, logic and science classification.
What it teaches
- Sort and classify objects
How to play
Drag a block to a room, or tap a block and then tap a room. In odd-one-out rooms, drag the block that doesn't belong to the basket. Keyboard: Tab to a block, Enter to pick it up, arrow keys to choose a room, Enter to put it down.
